Installing the CPU fan and heatsink assembly

The Intel

®

Pentium

®

4 LGA775 processor requires a specially designed heatsink

and fan assembly to ensure optimum thermal condition and performance.

• When you buy a boxed Intel

®

Pentium

®

4 processor, the package

includes the CPU fan and heatsink assembly. If you buy a CPU separately,

make sure that you use only Intel

®

-certified multi-directional heatsink and

fan.

• Your Intel

®

Pentium

®

4 LGA775 heatsink and fan assembly comes in a

push-pin design and requires no tool to install.

If you purchased a separate CPU heatsink and fan assembly, make sure that

the Thermal Interface Material is properly applied to the CPU heatsink or CPU

before you install the heatsink and fan assembly.

To install the CPU heatsink and fan:
1. Place the heatsink on top of the

installed CPU, making sure that the

four fasteners match the holes on

the motherboard.
